Yes, good point.
Find the disk Utility application within the Utilities folder inside your
Applications folder on your hard drive.
Launch Disk Utility.
Interact with the outline to select your hard drive. Usually, all you need
to do is interact with it by pressing Control-Option-Shift-Down Arrow and
you'll hear the details of your drive. Simjply stop interacting by pressing
Control-Option-Shift-Up Arrow and move to the Verify Disk Permissions
button. After the system is done with verifying, press the Repair Disk
Permissions button. The whole process should only take a few minutes, maybe
five.

Subject: Re: permissions after updating
Where do I go to do these verifications and repairs? When you say for
those new to the Mac to do something like this, remember that we don't
know how to follow your advice unless you tell us.
Thanks

Folks, especially those new to the Mac, don't forget to verify and
repair disk permissions before and after updating to 10.4.4. You won't
have to reboot after the first verification and repair but you'll have
to reboot after updating. Don't forget: it's not enough to just repair
permissions, you have to verify and then repair. I personally noticed
VoiceOver running more smoothly after the process.
